16. OTHER INFORMATION
AMINE: CAUTION THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS AN AMINE. DO NOT ADD NITRITES or other NITROSATING
AGENTS to this product due to the potential for NITROSAMINE formation. Nitrosamines are potent carcinogens
and some have been shown to cause severe acute (heart, brain, blood, liver - kidney) damage as well as chronic
effects (reproductive effects, liver - lung and kidney tumours).
RESPIRATORS: In general the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls employed to avoid
exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator selection and training is undertaken.
Remember that some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air
powered or air supplied respirators should be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary.
EXPOSURE STANDARDS - TIME WEIGHTED AVERAGE (TWA) or WES (WORKPLACE EXPOSURE
STANDARD) (NZ): Exposure standards are established on the premise of an 8 hour work period of normal
intensity, under normal climatic conditions and where a 16 hour break between shifts exists to enable the body to
eliminate absorbed contaminants. In the following circumstances, exposure standards must be reduced: strenuous
work conditions; hot, humid climates; high altitude conditions; extended shifts (which increase the exposure period
and shorten the period of recuperation).

HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE:
It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors including: frequency
and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control measures; protective equipment used and method of
application. Given that it is impractical to prepare a Chem Alert report which would encompass all possible
scenarios, it is anticipated that users will assess the risks and apply control methods where appropriate.

The recommendation for protective equipment contained within this Chem Alert report is provided as a guide only.
Factors such as method of application, working environment, quantity used, product concentration and the
availability of engineering controls should be considered before final selection of personal protective equipment is
made.
